SEO

When you operate multiple Shopify stores catering to different countries or regions, ensuring that your customers are directed to the correct version of your website based on their location and language preference is crucial. This is where hreflang tags come into play.

What Are Hreflang Tags?

Hreflang tags are snippets of HTML code that tell search engines like Google which language you are using on a specific page, so the search engines can serve that result to users searching in that language. This is especially important for businesses that have multiple international stores, ensuring that users are directed to the store most relevant to their region and language.

Google's documentation on managing multi-regional and multilingual sites offers comprehensive insights into the importance of correctly implementing hreflang tags.

Shopify and Hreflang Tags

Shopify supports international selling and has its own system for managing hreflang tags, as detailed in their guide on setting up international domains. However, Shopify's built-in solution may not cover all the complexities or specific needs of every international Shopify store.

The solution: Using Hreflang Manager app

To ensure your hreflang tags are correctly implemented and managed across your multiple Shopify stores, we recommend using the Hreflang Manager app. This app simplifies the process, ensuring your stores are properly indexed by Google and other search engines, enhancing your global SEO efforts.
